The 2010 Annual Colorado Springs Housing and Building Association's Rally/Poker Ride to Breckenridge on July 17, 2010 was a great success! People were on Bikes and even in Cars. Some came by themselves, with passengers and even families. The weather was beautiful and it was a great day to go out to play.
Participants collected poker cards to have the best hand and to win the prize. Cards were handed out at the following stops (sponsors in parentheses):
Colorado Springs (at Southside Johnny’s)
Woodland Park (at Foxworth Galbraith)
Hartsel (HBA Member Services Council)
Hoosier Pass (HBA Cares)
Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge (Bank of America Home Loans)

Bank of America Home Loans
Dwire Earthmoving & Excavating (beverages)

This year the beneficiary was the HBA Cares
The Colorado Springs Housing and Building Association sold extra poker cards to riders in Breckenridge. HBA Cares received a donation of $355 raised by that sale to support the "Keeping Seniors in their homes longer" program.
HBA Cares also conducted a Cornhole Tournament at the final stop in Breckenridge. The tournament raised $480. The winners of the tournament – Dena Cordova of Foxworth Galbraith and Rob Jasinski of Westech Framing – were challenged to a one game contest. The challengers – Brad Foster of Foster Electric Corp. and Tom Brown (company unknown) – made a $100 donation to HBA Cares on the condition that the tournament winners would match it if they were beaten. The winners agreed to match the donation regardless of the outcome. The challengers won the challenge.
